It’s not every dip that inspires me to connect with my inner Girl Scout and rewrite the words to “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah,” but this Skinny Ranch Dip has secret powers. It’s loaded with the classic ranch dressing flavor that has tricked children into eating vegetables and convinced pizza lovers to smother their slices in salad dressing.

I’m also not sure what it says about me that I chose to rewrite “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” over Will Smith (“Gettin’ Dippy With It!”) or that other ’90s gem “Da Dip” (refresh: “I put your hand up on my hip; when I dip, you dip, we dip”). Perhaps I’m wholesome? Endlessly optimistic? Really love Disney sing-a-longs?

Skinny Ranch Dip is thick, creamy, and longs to be smeared on your sandwich or dunked with your chips and veggies. Best of all, it is actually good for you. Bye-bye fatty ranch dressing that negates every salad it touches. Hello protein-packed Skinny Ranch Dip!

As I shared back when I posted this Roasted Red Pepper Parmesan Dip, nothing makes me more skeptical than a dip that advertises itself as “skinny.” Most of the time, I’d rather have less of the real-deal than more of a low-fat dip that doesn’t satisfy.

Fortunately for us, a thick, dreamy base of plain Greek yogurt is the perfect vehicle for the addictive garlic, onion, and dill spices that create classic ranch flavor. Ben, who eats vegetables with the attitude most humans apply towards cough syrup—a necessary evil—ate a good chunk of this dip with carrots before I had even started the photographs.

Hi Sue, the flavor of the Worcestershire is super subtle, so you might get away with it :-) otherwise, I would just leave it out, and add just a teeny bit more kosher salt. I hope you guys enjoy it, and I would love to hear what you think!

I am rooting for any dip that tricks “children into eating vegetables and convinced pizza lovers to smother their slices in salad dressing”!! And Worcester sauce in a dip is a fantastically brilliant idea!

i made it with fresh dill and added a squeeze of lemon juice and pepper. it was really good, will def keep making this. also I accidently made it with regular plain yoghurt and it was still good, just not as thick.

Hi Kevin! I’m sorry, but I honestly don’t recommend freezing this. I think the layers would get really mushy. If you’d like a smaller batch, however, the recipe is very flexible. You can cut it down by however much you like and layer it in a smaller pan. I hope you love it!

Hi Melissa, I started calculating nutritional information for my recipes starting in January 2016, and unfortunately it’s a time-consuming process, so I’m unable to go back to previous recipes to add it. If you’re interested in the nutrition info for this (or any other recipe), you can calculate it for free at myfitnesspal.com—that’s the site I use when doing my own estimates! I’m sorry I can’t give you the information for this specific one, but I hope that My Fitness Pal will be a helpful resource.

I made this to have on hand for veggies and was pleasantly surprised. Most greek yogurt dips have a tangy aftertaste that is a bit too strong for me, but this one did not. It tasted a lot like the “dill dip” recipe that has been in my Mom’s recipe file for decades (and calls for Accent seasoning- aka MSG). I did detect the slightest Greek yogurt flavor, but it wasn’t strong. I am curious as to whether I can get my husband to try it (he typically won’t go near anything with yogurt and is suspicious of any item that looks like it may have it).

Next time I would leave out the cayenne, as it did have a little bit of a kick to it that I don’t think was needed. I used a container of Fage which was 7 oz, so not quite a full cup.

Hi Suzi! All of my recipes from 2016 on have nutritional info. I’m not able to go back and add to the old ones due to time constraints. If you like, you can always use myfitnesspal.com to calc it yourself for the older recipes for free. It’s pretty quick and easy!

Well I’ve made it had to shift the measurements as being in England I don’t really work with cups but I managed it and it tastes great popped it in the fridge to take to work with me tomorrow for my carrots :D no doubt the flavours will only get better over night can’t wait. I’ve needed something else to have as a snack on my dumb diet haha and I think this is perfect!

Great question! Regarding nutritional info, this is something that I’ve actually started adding to all of my new recipes, effective January 2016 (you’ll see it in the recipe box at the bottom). Unfortunately, it’s pretty time consuming, so I’m unable to go back and add it to past recipes. If you’d like the nutritional info for any of my older recipes (or really any other recipe or food), you can actually calculate it yourself for free at myfitnesspal.com (this is how I calculate the new recipes on my blog). I’m sorry I can’t give you the information for this exact recipe, but I hope that My Fitness Pal will be a helpful resource for you.
